Wondering if User:Natalie rose gauci Softblock Should Become a Hardblock Due to Presented History
I am just reaching out because I saw you blocked User:Natalie rose gauci. I am wondering if the User:Natalie rose Gauci softblock was too light and the user should have a more traditional hardblock and their accounts should be considered sockpuppets.
According to the talk page for her article, users with names resembling (or outright claiming to be) Gauci have been editing the article since at least 2013. This includes User:Natalierosecowan, Natalie Gauci's former maiden name (who was blocked indefinitely for vandalism), User:89.240.30.134, and User:Shri207 (who was never blocked).
I also found User:Brainsoul and User:Xfactor1234 in 2012 (both never blocked), User:Shriyansh Sapkota in 2013 (who was also blocked indefinitely for vandalism), and User:Natg8888 in 2017 (never blocked) as other single-purpose accounts that only seemed to edit Gauci-related articles.
Feel free to do what you wish, but I just wanted to show it does not look like an isolated pattern. Thebirdlover (talk) 00:03, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads up, I'll think about that, but I'm not sure it's particularly useful to upgrade the block; in fact, if the person who operates the account has already been hardblocked in the past and they create a new account, it's still block evasion, and so they can still be blocked, regardless of my soft block... — Salvio giuliano 15:00, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Editor experience invitation
Hi Salvio giuliano (thanks for beating me to blocking that spammer). I usually try to invite experienced editors I come across to participate here because I think it's a worthy long term project. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 10:25, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- Clovermoss, thanks for the invitation, I'll be sure to look it over. Concerning the spammer, I was cleaning a bit of the backlog at UAA, using User:Mr. Stradivarius/gadgets/SpamUserPage... I don't know if you're familiar with that tool, but it makes fighting userspace spam much faster. Best. — Salvio giuliano 10:29, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- Interesting. I've never heard of it but I'll keep it in mind and consider installing it. I'm a relatively new admin that only occasionally does admin-related tasks so I might prefer to just keep doing things one step at a time. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 10:40, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
